If there is an equal amount of force on both sides of the tug of war cart, the cart will remain stationary and not move in either direction. This is because the forces on both sides cancel each other out, resulting in a net force of zero.
According to Newton's first law of motion, an object at rest or in motion will remain in that state unless acted upon by an external force. In this case, the external forces on both sides of the cart are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. As a result, there is no net force to accelerate or change the motion of the cart.
Thus, the cart will stay in its original position and will not move because the forces are balanced.
If you have an equal amount of force on both sides of the tug of war cart, what happens every time? Explain why
